I built this espalier frame during December, using three-quarter inch electrical conduit and fittings from chainlink fences. I've planted two kinds of tropical apples (Dorsett and two Annas) and one pear tree (Hood). The length of the trellis is about thirty-five feet. . . .

Confederate Jasmine is a great plant to use for small Espalier projects around the house. All you need is strong fishing line, some rust-resistant screws or nails and a surface on which to let your creativity run wild. This one is only a few months old and it began life as a 3 (0r maybe 5) gallon nursery plant. . .

Here is a lovely little technique for gardeners who like to exert control over nature.
Ultimately when you garden you can chose between two styles. The first style is natural. The other style is manicured. The natural style gardener will choose to trim an eight foot hedge with a pair of pruners. A snip here; a snip there. They want the plant to define their own shape. Soft and flowing. . .
